ddr2-667 vs ddr2-800
I just got the dell XPS 1530m Core 2 duo 2.2ghz 800mhz FSB 4m I2 cache.
Should I get ddr2-667 or ddr2-800?
Will I see a performance difference? Do you know about how much?
Is it worth the extra $30 for the 800?
Thanks!

Forgot to mention . . . if you are gaming with it, the difference between DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 will be a few frams/sec. This may or may not be noticeable to you depending on how sensitive your eyes are. Some people can't see a difference with anything higher than 30-40 frames per second. I personally can see a difference all the way up to 80 or so.

My system came with 1gb, ddr2, 667mhz 2 dimm
So does that mean my system was set up for DDR2-667 and that I should use this? Or do I need to find out in the bios to know for sure. Would Dell know if I contacted them?
